Oh man I may need to invest in one of these. Missus also loves the sound it makes.

You've bought everything else mate why not

 

[VRSLOZ]

Well the Forge Spacer is now off the car as I'm not sure if it's leaking boost, but also it makes the car less stealth than before and I can't have that .

I also spent this morning removing the weights from the rear of the car....

Now you see me :

Now you don't :

Nice little saving on weight there

Lol yup

'kin ell. Surely making the right height springs would be better to get it sitting right than adding weights haha stupidest thing I've seen in a while

 

[VRSLOZ]

There was talk that they were possibly put on there so the hatch wasn't faster than the estate...

 

[MATTCR]

Lmao it gets better

Nice one skoda

Posted on another forum :

"They are there to balance the car's handling, making the back heavier.
All Hatchback mkII VRS's have them fitted by Skoda as the rear end is light.
The Estate has a bigger bum so there is more weight hanging out over the back, so they were not needed on that to give good handling characteristics"

Nice one mate, guess you will have to get coillies and ARB now then. Great 25KG saving there in weight anyway as you said.

When you said you were taking the weights off your car I didn't think they would of looked like that!

Thats crazy that they put them there. Are they always on the left hand side or do they slide around?

Are they on the ibiza aswell??

 

[VRSLOZ]

I don't think so bud

 

[Deleted member 35176]

Is your battery in the boot?

 

[VRSLOZ]

Nah mate, up front

 

[Deleted member 35176]

That will be why you have the weights I think cos the later Ibiza CUP/BOC batteries are all in the boot.

 

[VRSLOZ]

Either that or they want to slow the Skoda down

 

[VRSLOZ]

Have ordered an ELM327 bluetooth adaptor to work with the Torque Android app on my phone, should give me some extra info on what the car doing (that's the plan anyway).

Also had an idea on a small touch I can do to the car, will post up pics if/when it's done

Haha, that's brilliant from Skoda right there..

Nice weight saving bud!
